Zatarra Cruise - return to Erie

We left Ashtabula in a nice brisk wind, both sails up and whipping along for all of 10 minutes then the wind dropped and we were motoring.

There were a lot of sport fishing boats out on the lake and a few transients,
like us.

By the time the wind picked up a little it was dead ahead of us and in the spinnaker of this boat
going in the opposite direction.

Finally, our first way point, the Presquile lighthouse.

Afternoon coffee.

Heron to greet us at the channel.

We just got docked at the Erie Yacht Club when Rhapsody slipped into the dock beside us.
We invited John and Kathy and their daughter and future son in law for a celebratory drink.
 The engagement occurred on the trip over the lake from Port Dover. 

Looking at more boat names I realized that most of the cutsey names were on power boats (like "Knot at Home" and "San Knot Ra" - with a hat like Frank). A poster in the club house advertised a wooden boat race in September and I realized how many wooden boats there were at EYC.

And of course the beautiful two master that I have taken pictures of in the Interclub:
Dreamer.

I went over to the new community clubhouse to take pictures of the sailing school and my camera
battery died. There will be no more pictures until I get home.
